Only a few days ago we reported that Lost Ark already managed to lure a large number of players to its early access phase, which was open to owners of Founder's Packs. At that time, Lost Ark ranked sixth on Steam's all-time concurrent player chart with a peak of 532K.

However, the game has since been fully released to free-to-play players. We anticipated this would likely enable it to surpass Amazon's New World, previously at the fifth place, but Lost Ark didn't stop there. Two days ago, the MMOARPG registered a peak of 1 million and 325K players, higher than Cyberpunk 2077, Dota 2, and even Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This means the game developed by Smilegate RPG now holds second place, albeit very far from PUBG: Battlegrounds (which remains firmly on top with its 3 million and 257K peak recorded four years ago, at the height of the Battle Royale craze).
